Powerful, Flexible Automation—Best for Developers, But Can Be Technical for Quick Tasks
What do you like best about the product?
n8n is a great workflow automation tool, especially if you like flexibility and control. I love the fact that it's so developer-friendly and easy to implement setup is quick, and I had my first workflow running within minutes. You get to make custom functions, API connections a snap, and build complex automation without unnecessary limitations.The UI editor is intuitive, and the self-hosted option is a massive victory for privacy and scalability. I use n8n almost on a daily basis for AI workflow integrations, API endpoint testing, and logic operations. Community support and docs are excellent, and it's fantastic to see how often new integrations are introduced.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although n8n is a powerful tool, it can occasionally feel too technical when you just want to accomplish simple tasks. Certain nodes require manual configuration or some scripting expertise, and troubleshooting more complex workflows can be challenging. The cloud version offers convenience, but its performance may fluctuate depending on the current load. Still, this is a reasonable trade-off considering the flexibility n8n provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use n8n as our iPaaS layer to connect a variety of internal and external services, similar to how a digital wallet like Khalti manages payments, verifications, and notifications. n8n enables us to automate API-driven workflows, monitor system health, and handle transaction logic without the need to write custom scripts for each integration. This approach has made our integrations quicker, more reliable, and simpler to maintain.
n8n: The Ultimate No-Code Automation Platform with Endless Possibilities
What do you like best about the product?
n8n is by far the best and most versatile no-code/low-code automation platform. There are nodes for almost all major tools available out of the box. A great and huge community. n8n is well maintained, can be installed as a self-hosted versioin with almost no restrictions. There are countless templates ready to use. The learning curve is very flat, there is a tutorial for every use-case.
What do you dislike about the product?
As with every tool there might be some very specific flaws, which most of the time are solved with new updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use n8n for almost all my automation use-cases, wether for my internal use as well as for my customers. Whenever it is possible I try to 'route' complex issues through n8n.
100% recommend. Great for Self-Hosting, but Typescript Limits Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Self-hosting does not incur any direct fees, though you will still need to cover the expenses associated with operating your own hardware.
You can effectively write your own workflow with less than an hour of learning from zero.
If you decide to go with the cloud option, getting started takes less than ten minutes.
n8n has top of the line support, you WILL get your question answered in a reasonable amount of time. On top of that, you can ask the n8n doc AI for help, it will have you covered 90% of the time.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only qualm is that it's written in Typescript.
n8n could run so much faster if it were written in C++.
You won't really notice the difference unless you have a background in Operating Systems development.

I use n8n for creating AI automation system for clients for my business and also to streamline my workflow in general.
It's a really great automation tool
What do you like best about the product?
The level of functionality it provides. There is a learning curve, but after you are done with it. You can almost automate any backend work
What do you dislike about the product?
The cloud service doesn't let custom nodes in. That's such a bummer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with most of the automation someone can think of
Must have tool for Web Developers
What do you like best about the product?
Integration was quick and straightforward, and I found it relatively easy to learn. It fits seamlessly into my toolchain.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface for authentication integration could be improved, and it would be helpful to have greater control and more detailed insights into the security settings, including compliance with regulations like DSGVO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is less need to write code, and the platform offers flexibility when it comes to integrations and automations. Fast prototyping is possible with just a few clicks, thanks to a WYSIWYG editor.
n8n is incredible. I wish I had more programming experience.
What do you like best about the product?
My Disclaimer up front - I am not an IT professional this is not something I do for work, I am purely a hobbyist trying to have some fun and hopefully make my life a bit easier.
What do I like most about n8n? Honestly it's what the product is itself. It's a workflow tool. I've not even delved into the deep end yet and I've already been able to setup an assistant that I can message in discord, it sends it over to an AI (can be local or cloud hosted), It'll run the tools I've provided it, and provide me feedback in a very easily readable format. (Heck you can even toss a TTS on there to include in the output for when you're not actively reading.)
I feel like for anyone who actually knows what they're doing this can be an extremely powerful tool - especially if you have work flow diagrams that already exist.

What do you dislike about the product?
The downside? I would say that in order to get the most out of n8n you need some level of programming experience. It doesn't have to be much, but when you're trying to build more complex workflows, trying to split out tasks or fields it helps to know a bit of JSON and personally I don't. Am I getting through it? Yes, but it's taking a bit more extra effort on my behalf, I think for some other's they'd have this down no issue.
Also I think it'd be neat if there was a way to build in say a container and a python running inside the system that way I don't have to build one outside myself and toss a post at it to interact. For one of my projects I essentially had to build an outside listener that could pass information because I didn't see one available built in. Perhaps an active listener already exists, but if it does I didn't see and if I did I probably still wouldn't know how to use it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What problems is n8n solving for me, and how is it benefiting me? That's a great question. Lets preface my answer with I'm not a business, I'm simply an individual trying to add improvements to my day. I have a personal server (little hobby server) that I've been trying to slowly move my stuff out of the cloud on to, whether that's been my photo libraries, or documents, and running a few experiments like an auto-translation tool for monitoring/moderating chat clients. Although I haven't gotten my n8n there yet, I fully intend to, what has it solved for me today? Being an individual with limited but lets say power user level of experience, I've already been able to setup an AI assistant in there that has been able to help troubleshoot issues for me. An example would be when I asked it, "hey my CPU and RAM usage is out of control, I don't know what's going wrong" having given it access to a CLI it was able to check my system services and informed me that my ffmpeg was maxing out. It also gave me a platform that I could further ask questions to diagnose the problem. I have yet to give it more elevated permissions so that it could read and manage my docker containers, but there's definitely potential there. And if you go about this route n8n has thought about that as well, you can add human in the loop so if it want's to perform a task it must ask and wait for approval. I have no doubt that you can get a lot more use out of this then I will ever figure out on my own. Maybe my next steps will be including this in my home monitor suite for Intrusion Detection and Prevention.

n8n helps me manage repetitive tasks.
Easy to learn
What do you like best about the product?
It just took a couple of weeks to start automating tasks. This is the first time I experienced what AI can do to business. It's an amazing product.
What do you dislike about the product?
N8N's hosted solution is somewhat pricey and has certain restrictions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated AI chatbot, web post, and automated logs review.
One word "Amazing"
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most are the AI tools. The flow model unlocks countless possibilities for automating tasks—just let your imagination guide you. It makes AI accessible even to those with limited coding knowledge.
What do you dislike about the product?
When working with image generation models, I find it frustrating that after the AI model generates the binary data, testing the rest of the workflow requires the model to re-run from the beginning rather than continuing from where it left off. This makes the testing phase less efficient. Additionally, the way binary data moves through the workflow is quite challenging to manage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool is making AI accessible to someone like me, who has only limited coding knowledge—something I never thought would be possible.
Awesome automation, great workflow builder with multiple tutorials and scenarios
What do you like best about the product?
Over time, I found myself managing a mix of tools, scripts, and APIs just to connect everything—CRM, email, Google Sheets, and internal databases. With n8n, I’ve been able to bring all of these together into visual workflows. I use it to automate lead routing, email sequences, data synchronization, and reporting, all without needing to trigger anything manually. This has helped reduce repetitive tasks, minimize errors, and allowed me to focus on more valuable work instead of constantly writing glue code.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main downside is the cost, especially when you're using a large number of APIs and scaling up your workflows—it can become expensive rather quickly. Additionally, although the user interface is straightforward for basic automations, creating more advanced workflows tends to be more challenging and often involves a steeper learning curve.
